Different stores for the best price is the way to go. As someone who is in all kinds of different stores often, you have to pay attention to prices to know where the deal is. They will all have good prices on certain things. I prefer hannaford generally but mostly because they are the cleanest and seem to treat their employees a bit more decently in comparison to the others. Shaws second and then Price chopper last as far as cleanliness and organization. I will not shop at walmart because of my own dislike of the company for multiple reasons I won’t get into. Like i said though you have to pay attention to prices everywhere even at local stores and dollar general and places like that to find the best prices. Coupons/rewards are key of course but hardly worth the time at any except for large savings. Each place will have a really good deal but only on a couple items.

A relative worked at hannaford in Barre 2 years ago. I assure you, they do not treat their employees well. They lied about pay, scheduled shifts that the relative repeatedly told them they had medical appointments for far in advance (and threatened disciplinary action if they didnt come) and forced overtime but refused to pay (and also got mad that they had OT--which management scheduled).

It sounded like a nightmare

I didn’t intend to say hannaford was a good place to work or any of these stores. Just that compared to the others it’s cleaner and run better so I prefer it for those reasons.
